Losing words, struggling to concentrate, feeling less confident at work - what are we actually describing when we say “brain fog”?
Dr Claudia Pastides and Dr Emma Thornton are joined by neuroscientist and Cerebella founder Nahid Zokaei to explore women’s brain health in midlife. Nahid explains why she dislikes the term “brain fog”, how cognitive assessments can miss changes women notice in themselves, and the personal experiences that inspired her to build Cerebella.
We discuss the non-drug programme she’s developing for midlife cognitive symptoms, why co-creating with women matters, and how to turn health data into something people can act on. Plus: the realities of pitching women’s brain health to investors—and why this conversation is about confidence and working life as much as memory.
Expect fascinating neuroscience, frank founder stories, and a pine cone and an apple standing in for our usual pineapple. 🍍
